Coastal Water Resources

该计划将调查加拿大沿海地下（含水层）和地表（河口和海洋海岸）水资源对气候变化和其他环境干扰的脆弱性。三个核心研究方向将是：（一）陆地来源通过地下水途径对海洋海岸的污染;（二）盐水侵入为供水而抽取的沿海含水层;以及（三）提供关键冷水鱼类栖息地的沿海河流中的水温驱动因素。研究结果将有助于保护饮用水和水生生态系统，并将为沿海社区水资源管理的气候变化适应政策提供信息。

This program will investigate the vulnerability of Canadian coastal water resources in subsurface (aquifers) and surface (estuaries and marine coasts) settings to climate change and other environmental disturbances. The three core research directions will be (i) contamination of marine coasts from terrestrial sources via groundwater pathways, (ii) saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers pumped for water supply, and (iii) water temperature drivers in coastal rivers that provide critical cold-water fish habitat. Results will contribute to the protection of drinking water and aquatic ecosystems and will inform climate change adaptation policies for water resources management in coastal communities.
